The New York Jets, fresh off an exhaustive hunt for new general manager John Idzik, will explore options to deal star corner Darrelle Revis this offseason, according to sources with knowledge of the situation.

The team is using 2013 as a year for cap and budgetary housecleaning, to get situated for the future. It stands to reason that come 2014, both Revis and head coach Rex Ryan, are gone.

As Pats fans, I think that's the worst possible thing to hear. If the Jets tank in 2013 to clear out salary and get a good pick, then they could actually be good in 2014. I'd much prefer the Tannenbaum strategy of bandaiding the salary cap every year.

I'm not going to read the article, but I will assume it comes down to money. Which might have not been as large a problem if Rexy wasn't shooting his mouth off right when Revis' contract was up.

We should offer something. I don't know what his contract is like besides being a lot of money, but man...just imagine. I highly doubt the Jets would deal with us just on principle, but still might as well take a shot.

Right, but they'd be candidates for the first overall pick plus whatever they get for trading Revis, and they'd have a ton of cap room if they truly do use this year to dump some bad contracts. They'd be able to find enough talent to be mildly annoying.

I always trust in Woody Johnson making the wrong move.

Oddly enough, even without Revis, the Jets still had the #2 ranked pass defense in the NFL last season.

What you are saying is if a team gave up all their players and stunk, they might get good later. That scares you?
